About propagating purslane, I planted seeds of the Golden Purslane in pots and quite a few came up, but would've liked to see more than that come up. That's an especially tasty one and not available in nurseries (that I know of), so has to be started by seed. And the wild Lebanese purslane...just threw some seed on the ground in the fall and had some come up as soon as it was warm enough the next year. Have rooted cuttings also...shared those with a friend for ornamental purslane. Easy...it's good to start some cuttings in spring, then they'll have time to get going before summer. My only problem was that the wild critters came and dug in a couple of pots...saved what I could!
I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White
